Dear Juno,
I respect your decision to carry out your pregnancy to full terms. I believe you made the right choice by blessing another family that can’t have a baby on their own, with the gift of life. You learned a lot about your self through this time and have matured greatly, which will help you in the long term when you decide you are ready to take care of a child on your own terms. However, this does not dismiss the fact that you made a really stupid decision that caused you to grow up a lot faster than your peers. Knowing that you have a great personality and like to have fun, im sure you would have much rather be hanging out with your friends and going to the school dance; but you had to stay home and deal with the issues of being pregnant. Although you handled the whole situation well for a sixteen year old, you shouldn’t have put yourself in this type of situation in the first place.
I hope you have a sense of closure and peace knowing that your baby boy will grow up being well taken care of by a wonderful mom. Even though the dad may not be there, I know your baby will be loved and nurtured by his mother and live a great life. A close friend of my family chose to adopt three little boys that couldn’t be taken care of by their biological mothers. They are the best thing that has ever happened to her and her life has been fulfilled by having three little boys running around the house. This shows that adoption is always the better choice and im happy you made that choice. I admire how strong you were through your difficult situation and just know that everyone makes mistakes, but its how you handle yourself through a rough time that makes you who you are. I know you will be a great mother someday, Juno.
